Does City Sports Club charge a joining fee?
Yes — City Sports Club charges a joining fee starting at $25. As published: $0–$25 initiation across the reviewed plan tiers. It is a one-off charge, and it is the line staff most often have authority to waive, so always ask before you sign.
Does City Sports Club have an annual fee?
Yes — City Sports Club charges an annual fee of $59. As published: $59/year per person on the reviewed official rate page. It is billed once a year on top of your monthly dues, and it is the charge members most often forget, because it typically lands one to two months after you join rather than on day one.
What else can City Sports Club add to your bill?
Beyond dues and the annual fee, City Sports Club publishes this additional charge: First and last month dues create an initial payment of $59.98–$104.98 before annual fee and tax.
How to pay less at City Sports Club
Family additions, employer and local promotions can change the price; verify the written quote.
- Ask what the joining fee is today — promotions rotate, and a waived joining fee is the most common concession staff can authorise.
- Ask whether paying annually up front reduces the effective monthly rate.
- Check corporate, student and military eligibility before you sign, not after: most operators will not backdate a discount.
What does City Sports Club actually cost in the first year?
City Sports Club costs about $443.88 in the first year, which works out at $36.99 a month once the joining and annual charges are spread across twelve months.

| 12 months of dues | $359.88 |

Held at today’s published rates, three years of membership comes to about $1,281.64. Dues rarely stay flat that long, so treat this as a baseline for comparison rather than a forecast — how City Sports Club handles price increases.
